' Application filed July 5, 1887. Serial No. 243,420. (No model.)

To all whom ifimay concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY G. YEISER, of Cincinnati, Hamilton county,Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in File- Holders, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My invention is an improvement in devices for compact and orderly filingaway of papers and documents in a manner which affords ready access toany individual file or paper without disarrangement of any others.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure I is a perspective rear view whichshows a fileholder embodying my invention in the closed condition ofsuch holder. Fig. II is a side elevation of the same holder in its'opencondition, a portion of the receptacle being shown broken away. Fig. IIIis a transverse section of the said holder in its closed condition. Fig.IV represents one of my two combined guide, web, and socketpieces-detached.

Permanently attached to one end of a rectangular base, 1, isa customaryfront or head board, 2, which with said base constitutes the receptacleproper. The said two parts of the receptacle are firmly braced togetherby customary guide bars or rails, 3. These bars, besides doing dutyasbraces, serve as supports and guides for the file supporting andclamping follow-board, to be presently described.

The base 1 has in its upper surface and extending throughout its lengthan undercut groove, 4, which receives the neck 5 and the horns 6 of theclampinglever 7. The said tallic plate, 8. Shoulders 9 of said lever,that rest and slide upon the top of said plate 8, constitute thefulcrums of said lever. said lever has a T-head,.10, whose roundedextremities constitute pivots 11, that are journaled within sockets 12,which are integrally connected to guide-eyes 13 (engaged upon the rails3) by shanks or webs 14. Each of the two pieces 12 13 14 (of identicalform) consists of a singleintegral casting or forging, and (beingattached to the follow-board 15 by means of tacks or screws 16)discharges the twofold functions of socket for the clampinglever andguide-eye for the follow-board.

I claim as newand of my invention 1'. In a file-holder, the describedcombination, with the guide-rails, the follow board,

groove is preferably formed of a slotted me- 5 The and the T-headedclamping-lever, of "the two combined guide-eye, web, and socket pieces.

each piece being formed of a single integral' Attest:
